I am really hoping someone can clue me in to what might be going on with me. I have had this same siutation reaccur on a average of every 4 months for close to the last 2 years. What happens is I start getting chills, body aches, fever ( that has gotten as high as 104) and I am totally dibilitatied for the next 24 hours. During this 24 hour period I will run fever most of it, have no appetite, sleep the vast majority of it for usually about 3 hours at a time, then wake for maybe an hour or so and back asleep. I pee about every 3 hours also. After the fever breaks and a few hours later I am tired but better. The next day I am almost good as new but usually find that I have a fever in the lower part of my left leg and my right leg is usually much smaller then it normally is. It is almost like my right leg drains into my left.
I have primary LE in both legs prinmaily from the knees down and I wear compression stockings. My left leg will have fever in it for about 2 days after that and then that limb just is more swollen then normal for a couple of weeks. Other than that I usually feel great. I have had primary LE for the last 6 years but this only started within the last 2years. Only thing that has really changed in my life in the last 2 years is that I quit smoking cold turkey. I really have not gained or lost any weight and life has been pretty "normal", as normal as it can be dealing with LE that is anyways..lol.. Was just hoping to see if anyone had any ideas or experienced anything similar. Your ideas and thoughts are appreciated.
